top ten tuesday: valentine's day freebie!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish, and this week's theme is: "February 9: Valentine's Day is next week...let's do a Valentine's Day themed freebie! Top Ten Books That Would Make Great Valentine's Day Reads (or anti-Valentine's day reads), Top Ten OTPs, Top 10 fictional crushes, top ten great love declarations in fiction, swoony quotes from books etc. Get creative!"

I actually really like reflecting on love around Valentine's Day: whether it be romantic love or platonic love, I feel really happy that there is a special day to celebrate the people that are important in our lives. Though I don't feel like it should be limited to Valentine's, I do think it is a good day to tell the people around you that you love them.

That being said, I'm going to make my list this week a little different:

"Top Ten Female Characters I Would Invite to a Galentine's Day Party!"
(basically my fave fun, contemporary gals that would make a party amazing)

 
<– 1. Paige & Co. from The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord 

 
2. Lara Jean Song Covey from To All the Boys I've –> Loved Before by Jenny Han 


 
<– 3. Anna Oliphant from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins


4. Reagan and Lilah from Open Road Summer by –> Emery Lord 

 

<– 5. Cather Avery from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell 


6. Lea and Maribel from A Little Something –>
Different by Sandy Hall 
 
<–  7. Emily and Sloane from Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson



8. Caroline and Hannah from Steering the Stars by  –> Erica Cope and Autumn Doughton (coincidentally the names of me and my bestie/roommate so thats cool)


<– 9. Harper Price from Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins


10.  Rose and Lissa from Vampire Academy by –> Richelle Mead (TECHNICALLY, not strictly contemporary, but that's okay, it's my list)




what did you creative people come up with for your valentine's lists this week?

  1. Love your topic!! I would totally love to have a Galentine's Party with all my favorite book girls!! Lara Jean would be high on my invite list... and Cath too (although I hope she wouldn't be too uncomfortable being as I don't think she likes being around a bunch of people). Also yes to Anna (and Lola and Isla!!). Cool list :)
